B. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案): (7分)
When you cut your skin, you bleed (流血). If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to sick people. This called “blood transfusion”. The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.
But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups-O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood of group AB. But they find that they must give A-blood to A-blood people and B-blood to B-blood people. I have O-group blood as my father and the doctor told me that I could give my blood to anyone else safely. So I did.
There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first, they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end, they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.
We call a place where we keep money a “bank”. We call a place where we keep blood a “blood bank”. One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a ‘blood bank”. In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The ‘blood bank” will give it to you.

E. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (14 分)
More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them. When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200,000.
The Yanmomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil. They have lived in the forest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food. But in the later 1950s some strangers came and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than a hundred airports. The Yanimami people lost land and food. Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers. The Yanimami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.
Many forest people try to save their forests. Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people. “I want the Amazon forest to help all of us—forest people, Brazil, and all the earth,’ he said. A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.
In Boreno, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood. The Penan people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades(堵塞)across the roads into the forest. In 1987 they closed fifteen roads for eight months. No one cut down any trees during that time. In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest. They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit. The Gavious people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well. They find and sell the Brazil nuts which grow on the forest trees.
99. Most people do not hurt the forests they live in, do they?
100. How many people left the Amazon forest from 1900 to 1980?
101. Why did the strangers come to the forest in the late 1950s?
102. What happened to the Yanimami people when new diseases came with the strangers?
103. Why did Chico Mendes become famous in Brazil?
104. How did the Penan people try to save their rainforest?
105. Whose way of protecting the forest do you prefer, the Kuna people’s or the Gavious people”? Why?
